IS FALL CHUB RUB A THING?

It’s officially fall here in Chicago, and I can’t be more
excited. Fall is my favorite time of year because, well, let’s face it: Chub
rub makes me dread the warmer, summer months—so much so that I countdown to the
end of summer. I’ve tried many things to combat chub rub, and just because
summer is over, it doesn’t necessarily mean the chafing will stop. I love
wearing sweater dresses, like this one, during fall, which means chub rub still
persists. However, I may have found the perfect solution so that I can go forth
confidently wearing all the cute, fall dresses.

I recently discovered Thigh Society’s High Rise Anti-Chafing Slip Shorts,
and they are a total game changer when it comes to avoiding chub rub. The
anti-chafing shorts are
very soft, light and breathable, plus they wick moisture away. I prefer wearing
them in fall because most of my dresses for this season are longer in length,
and the shorts don’t show through at all. Another added benefit to wearing
these shorts is more coverage! In Chicago, the wind can get crazy, and when I
am wearing loose skirts, well, it’s a recipe for disaster. So, I love that Thigh
Society protect me and provide more coverage on windy days.

I also love that the brand has a focus on body positivity,
talks about chub rub as a perfectly normal thing (which it is) and features women
of different shapes and sizes on their website.

Now, onto the outfit, shall we? My ensemble is an entirely
recycled look, meaning that everything I am wearing, came from my fall storage
box in the closet. See this look (The Monochromatic Look),
which incorporates this sweater dress. See this look (Top Knot),
which showcases these taupe booties. Lastly, see this post (A Fashion-FilledWeekend With Meijer),
showing where I got this shawl.

SIZING INFO:I am wearing a size 2x in Thigh Society’s High Rise Anti-Chafing Slip Shorts, which is my usual size, and they fit
perfectly! These shorts do stretch quite a bit, but they are true to size. They
don’t ride up and didn’t give me any muffin top. They were actually so comfortable that I forgot I had them on.

This post is sponsored by Thigh Society. Marnie, the
company’s founder and self-described Chief Anti-Chafing Crusader, started Thigh
Society after she was tired of wearing biker shorts, constantly re-applying anti-chafing
creams, and squeezing into tight shapewear after none of those methods worked.
Thank you for supporting the brands that make Natalie in the City a
